Welcome, Walnut Valley science teachers (clearly the best teachers in the world!)!
At our district articulation, several teachers expressed the desire to have a space where we could share lesson ideas, presentations, labs, etc., as well as request materials of each other. For this reason, I have created this wiki for that purpose. Check in regularly to see what everyone has to say.
If you have never used a wiki before, it's fairly easy. At the top of our page, you will see a button that says "edit". Click this button and the website turns into a page that can be edited, just like a word document. Add the text you want, or perhaps a link to a cool website, then click save. The website will reappear with your changes. Very cool. If you would like a more graphic example of this, check out http://www.commoncraft.com/video-wikis-plain-english
Welcome, everyone, and thanks for sharing. Let's get started.
Computer Using Educator's Conferencehttp://www.cue.org/
Several teachers from Walnut attended the 2008 Computer Using Educator's conference (CUE) in Palm Springs. Great information was disseminated about instructional technology, especially the use of blogs, wikis and podcasts. For a free site to get started on podcasting with NO expensive equipment, visit www.gcast.com For a free classroom wiki, go to www.wikispaces.com For a free blogging site, go to http://edublogs.org/
